Reminders Uniforms

For those students requiring new uniforms, please email Aunty Norah with your sizes, and the

number and items required. Norah’s email is: [email protected]

TIS Events

Parents are always welcome to attend any TIS event. We live in a busy 24/7 world, so this open

invitation to parents to attend any event hopefully provides some sanity when trying to juggle

calendars. Throughout the year, there are specific Visiting Sundays. However, they are not a

monthly event as there may be sufficient TIS events available to parents to see their son/daughter.

Thanksgiving Service

At the start of each semester, a Thanksgiving Service is conducted. On Sunday, 2 September, the

first semester Thanksgiving Service will be conducted from 11.00am-12.30pm in the MPH. Like

all school events, parents are invited and welcome to attend.

Visiting Sunday

Following the Thanksgiving Service will be Visiting Sunday until 5.00pm. Visiting Sunday is an

opportunity for family and food, and at first, not in that order. Visiting Sundays are scheduled

throughout the year, usually once each month. If a month contains events that parents may attend

at TIS, a Visiting Sunday may not be listed. For new families, tables and chairs are set up around

the school and families eat and meet in different locations, including the MPH. Students look

forward to their parents bringing them their favourite take-away food.

Exeats

Exeats are required if parents require their son/daughter to depart the school for appointments,

family gatherings, etc. Parents should download, complete and email the exeat form from the

school website : https://www.tis.edu.gh/exeat-form/

Please note:

• Students will not have exeats approved if they have outstanding work to complete.

• Exeat requests for a weekend should be received by COB Wednesdays.

• Students returning from an exeat on a school day must be in full school uniform, including

shoes, not sandals.

• Students should return from an exeat by 5.00pm. Gates are locked at 6.00pm.

ManageBac for Parents

ManageBac (MB) is our learning management portal that is used by teachers for planning

assessment, reporting and attendance. Students use it to access assignment tasks, resources, and

assessment results, including semester reports. Parents access MB for reports, announcements and

can track their child’s academic performance. Almost all messages, including the weekly bulletin

and monthly newsletter will be sent through MB to parents. Welcome emails from ManageBac

(MB) were sent out last week to new parents and continuing parents who have not accessed it yet.

Please check your junk/spam folder if the email is not obvious in your inbox. Click on the second

link – Set My Password. If you have any difficulties registering or logging in, please email Ken

([email protected])

Expectations Students

There are five aspects where high standards are always expected: performance; behaviour;

presentation; communication; and participation.

Performance

It is expected that student performance will at least equal or exceed their natural ability. Regardless

of a child’s natural ability level, each student is expected to put their best effort into every task

they attempt.

Behaviour

Students are expected to:

• Be ready to learn;

• Wearing the correct school uniform;

• Be in the right place at the right time (with the right gear/equipment);

• Respect staff, students & visitors;

• Respect their own and the property of others;

• Apply best effort into each activity; and

• Be honest.

Presentation

Students are expected to be in correct school uniform (and worn properly) when they are on

school grounds or in the wider community representing TIS.

Communication

‘Sooner rather than later’ is the standard for all communications. If there is an issue or concern,

then individuals must communicate this issue or concern to the relevant party. All issues and

concerns are expected to be addressed quickly (48-hour rule).

Participation

Students are expected to participate in all class/school activities. Failure to do so raises the question

of commitment.

Staff

Staff must be professional at all times. Their actions and behaviour are a reflection of themselves,

their professional colleagues and TIS.

Staff will demonstrate their professionalism through:

• Their efforts to ensure effective communication between colleagues, students and parents. All

communication must reflect a ‘sooner rather than later approach’ (48-hour rule). Email is the

preferred form of communication. Staff should copy in their Head of Department, Head of

Program, Head of Academics and the Principal.

• Their establishment of strong home–school relations.

• Their loyalty and commitment to TIS, at all times and without exception.

• Their ability to make a difference to TIS as a result of their professional and personal

contributions by value-adding in their individual areas of expertise.









• Their prompt follow-through on all tasks and requirements for which they are responsible.

• Their participation in extra-curricula activities and TIS events. in extra-curricula activities and

TIS events.

Parents

At TIS, all parents are expected to:

• Support the policies and ethos of the school.

• Communicate, by email, any issues promptly with the class teacher or relevant staff member

(48-hour rule) on working days (Monday-Friday, 8.00am-4.00pm).

• Demonstrate courtesy and respect in their dealings with TIS staff and other parents.

• Attend parent/teacher interviews and information sessions.

• Participate in TIS functions and events.

• Pay school accounts according to the set time frames.

• Ensure their children return to school within the set time-frames.

Sunday Services

Ecumenical church services are conducted each Sunday at TIS. Each student is expected to attend.

With the exception of designated services, for example, this Sunday, Muslim students may use this

time for prayer in a separate location. Parents who prefer their child not to attend these services

because their child does not regularly attend church should email me so alternative arrangements

are implemented.

Subject Selection

Students in Grades 7-9 and 11 have been involved in subject selection this week. For G7-8, they

could choose either drama or music. In second semester these students have the choice to swap or

continue. Other subjects are mandatory.

In G9, students had more choices to determine from compulsory groupings and some electives.

These students must study a minimum of six subjects and a maximum of eight.

In G11, students need to choose six subjects from different groups, three of which must be at HL

and three at SL. Compulsory core components are Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Extended Essay

(EE) and Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS).

Parents can view their child’s subjects and timetable, and many other aspects of their learning on

MB.

Returning to School

Gates are locked at 6.00pm each day. Students who seek to arrive after this time will be sent

home as such tardiness impacts on other school activities, such as prep. Everyone is aware of

traffic hassles, so plan your travel time carefully to avoid embarrassment. Only those students

who have prior approval will be allowed to enter after this time.

I appreciate your support.

Dr Ken Darvall

Reflections on the Yale Young African Scholars (YYAS) Experience held at TIS (August

2018): Head of Academics- Tiffany Agyarko (DP2)

“I definitely consider my time spent at Yale Young African Scholars this

summer as time well spent. Though the process of registration was a little

arduous, I will encourage those interested in applying to not let this stop them

because there are so many benefits to enjoy for FREE: Free SAT Tutoring,

Free College Guidance Information Sessions and Free help with College

Essay. Through YYAS, I was also introduced to Ahaspora, a mentorship

program for young leaders in Ghana. I also got to meet people from 28

different countries, all the way from Tanzania to Tunisia. One thing in

particular that I learnt during this conference was to appreciate cultural

diversity in all forms, be it through accents, clothing or customs.”

Savannah College of Arts and Design (SCAD) Summer Experience, Atlanta, Georgia,

U.S.A.

“I was welcomed to the colourful world, SCAD, which unfortunately lasted

only a week. Despite all that, on the last day, you truly felt like you’d been

there all your life. The food at SCAD was impeccable as well as all members

of staff and the rooms. I did the film & television course, as well as fashion

marketing. For the film & television course, we made a short film (which is on

YouTube) and for the fashion marketing course we made a short magazine

spread. I honestly recommend that you (students) attend the SCAD summer

seminars program because you won’t regret it!” ~Steve Williams (DP1)

DP1 Orientation 2018- Eight T.I.S. Alumni

feature!

On Tuesday, we were privileged to have 8 of our

honourable alumni, who made time to be part of the

DP1 orientation programme. They were: Daniel

Ohene Boateng (alumnus- Lancaster University,

Ghana), Angel Adade-Mensah (Univ. of Manchester,

UK), David Quampah (SCAD- USA), Kelvin Ennison

(Kwame Nkrumah Univ. of Science & Technology, Ghana), Irvine Narh (Ashesi University,

Ghana), David Masoperh (African Leadership Univ.- Rwanda), Nuna Attipoe (Lancaster

University, Ghana), and Jared Quampah (Drexel University, USA). Their close interactions with

our newbies and continuing DP1s were insightful and invigorating, propelling them on to an

excellent start and helping them understand the benefits of the DP Programme among other helpful

tips. Below is a reflection from our student- Akua Okyere (DP1).

“As part of our orientation into the IBDP, some alumni were invited to

offer advice on the DP program, how to effectively balance and manage

time, how to avoid distractions and the importance of the IBDP and its

merits over other programs. ‘The IB is challenging, but it is doable’ was

a common phrase that was echoed by the alumni. Listening and

interacting with the alumni not only allayed our fears but also

encouraged us to put in a lot of effort because ‘taking away the holidays,

vacations and trips, you have less than two years to finish the IB.’ At the

end of the day, we were given a lot to think about and many, including

me, are reconsidering their career paths and choice of colleges and

universities.” ~Akua Okyere









CAS-SA Corner

DP Orientation – Dr Ken Darvall and the DP team welcomed the IB Class of 2020 with an

interactive orientation, understanding the Diploma Program. They have set the tone for a great two

years’ journey.

CAS Orientation Camp – On Thursday, the G 11 had a debriefing session about their CAS

Orientation Camp. The Responsibility of a CAS Student, what is CAS and what is not was one of

the session they engaged in.

Today they are heading to Shai Hills for an experience of a life time.









Four Chances of Survival –

Interact Club of TIS

As mentioned in the May Bulletin,

the Interact club of TIS with the

support of 3M&C fulfilled their

promise to the Tema General

Hospital to donate a GHC 60, 000

worth Incubator to the NICU unit at

the Hospital. The club with some

members of staff handed over the

incubator to the hospital on 4 June on

behalf of the entire TIS Community.

Receiving the Incubator on behalf of

the facility was the medical director, Mr. Kwabena Opoku- Adusei and Dr. Adjoa Dsane, Medical

Officer in charge of the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit who mentioned that a lack of incubators at

the hospital is a challenge to quality health care delivery at the facility. In view of that, they

extended their heartfelt appreciation to the Tema International School community for their

immense support and contribution to championing quality health care for preemie babies.

Updates reaching us from the hospital prove that the donation was worth it and the Incubator is

indeed saving lives and giving second chances. So far, four preemie babies have passed through

the incubator since it was installed at the end of June 2018 and they currently have one preemie

baby boy (Baby Azar) who has been in there for 10 days. We have been assured continuous

monitoring on a monthly basis and a quarterly report starting in October 2018. The entire

community will receive periodic

updates about the state of the

incubator and a huge thank you

goes to the community for their

immense financial support

throughout the fundraising

process. The club is proud and

intends to continue undertaking

such meaningful gestures/projects

in contributing their half to make

the world a better place for all.

The current President Alistair

Kirk, together with the club will

undertake a “Tiffany Tissue”

project under the Rotary area of

focus, Water and Sanitation

before the Interact year ends and hands over. For more information about this exciting project stay

tuned and be a member or donor of the Interact club of TIS

Service above Self!









ASA Fair – On Wednesday after school, the MPH was the

Dear Fellow – CAS Project

Dear Fellow is a student Creativity

Activity Service (CAS) initiative that

aims to support and empathize with the

underprivileged children of

Handi*Vangelism Children’s Home in

areas relating to their social, education

and home life. The project identifies

with the plight of the many children on

the streets and in children’s homes who

are often marginalized. It is matter of

concern and an act of empathy.

Members of Dear Fellow at Handi*Vangelsim Children's Home









Dear Fellow looks forward to bridging the gap between these children and the more privileged in

society.

Currently, Handi*Vangelism has a dreary

library that does not stimulate a desire in the

children to explore the world through

reading. In this regard, Dear Fellow is

refurbishing the library by creating a more

exciting learning environment that would

encourage the children of HVMI- GH to be

curious about reading.

The refurbishment will require:

1. 15 Chair with tablet arms

2. 2 Bookshelves

3. 2 library workstations

4. Painting the library

5. Stocking the library with books

Survival Island - CAS & DoEIA Summer Camp

‘Not all those who wander are lost’ - J. R. R. Tolkien

Members of Dear Fellow at Handi*Vangelsim Children's Home









The above thought of J. R. R. Tolkien verily

sums up the experience from the escapades on

the Survival Island. For 3 days and 2 nights, a

group of 6 staff and 13 students from Tema

International School, and 5 adventure guides

from Bravehearts Expeditions wandered from

Tema to Survival Island, in the belly of the

Akwamu-Anum gorge. With a combination of

several means of transport – bus, foot, rope,

and kayak – the journey of self-discovery

challenged many to take a closer look at

themselves and to have a better appreciation of

nature.

Those three days away from everything ‘home’

was enough to teach the participants the need

to negotiate for what is needed rather than

living on entitlements. Without a comfortable

bed to sleep on, or electricity to power life, and

the need to live, the experience explained in

real terms what it means to make do with little,

and improvise in the absence of the ideal. The

experience also brought to life the need and

importance of human relation skills – ‘Ubuntu:

I am because you are’. (Ebenezer Kwame

Asime – CAS Advisor & DoEA Supervisor)

Survival Island CAS & DOE Summer Camp is

an annual experiential camping experience

hosted by Tema International School in

collaboration with Bravehearts Expeditions,

and for IBDP CAS students and Duke of

Edinburgh Award International participants to

meet the various requirements of two

programmes, and most essentially to learn life.

The summer camping programme is open to all

IBDP CAS students and Duke of Edinburgh

Award International participants across the

world.
